    Essentially, Grumman's experience with the XF10F was the very reason why the F-111 actually had a _reliable_ wing sweeping mechanism (despite all the other problems the early F-111's had). And that F-111 experience was how Grumman got back into the Navy fighter business with the now-legendary F-14 _Tomcat_ .

      @@cateclism316 I think the problem was that the XF10F, like the Bell X-5 before it, relied on a single pivot for the swinging of _both_ wings, which caused center-of-gravity stability issues. That's why on the F-111, Grumman designed each wing to have its own separate wing pivot mechanism, which means the center of gravity did not change regardless of wing position.

Did you even think about that for a moment before you posted it? That's how aircraft design works. The F-18 exists because of the studies that created the F-5 and T-38. You can follow the exact evolution through various iterations on paper and models from one to the other. At the very least they used the data they gained studying the swing wing for this when they designed the next attempt. You don't really think they just burned all their data and started over from scratch, do you? And just happened to eventually adopt the same solution of roll control via spoilers by coincidence, only they got it right this time by amazing coincidence?

    Great subject. Great assessment. Great video. The navy wanted all the fashionable stuff quickly but without asking how practical that was on a carrier.

    • @RedXlV
      @RedXlV 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The XFV-12 was another case of the Navy opting for exotic technology that turned out to not work. If it had instead been the Convair Model 200 that was funded for a prototype to be built, well there would've still been issues (auxiliary lift jets are inherently inefficient since they're dead weight during horizontal flight), at least the Convair 200 would've been *able* to take off since it relied on conventional, already-proven VTOL principles.
      And who knows, maybe they would've been able to develop it into a system like the F-35B uses now, where the lift fan is part of the main engine rather than being separate auxiliary jets. P&W started work on that system in 1986, which would've been just a few years after the Convair 200 would've entered service had it been chosen instead of the Rockwell design.

    Grumman were masters of the swing-wing right from the get-go. A shame the Jag had such a slackdog of an engine and engine control system and the tail wasn't replaced sooner. It could have been an excellent carrier CAP fighter. Certainly better then the Cutlass.

    Ah so that is why I'd never seen an F-111B before in it's pale deco 'they got cancelled' before production.
    Interesting... I tend to have a gap in knowledge of planes post war and pre "modern era" I.e. all those ones that didn't last long.

    Had one, ended up selling it for an F-14 and never looked back.

    I think all the experimental features of the Jaguar doomed it. It's too bad, because the Navy eventually went with a variable swept wing fighter 20 years later.
